Hopefully, you followed our Graduation Timeline and are on track to throw the best Graduation party of your child’s school So you have sent out the invitations, picked out your graduation party theme and now need Graduation Party Games and Activities.

While it is nice to have great party food like Walking Tacos and maybe an Ice Tea Bar, people actually like to have little activities and games to play to break the ice. 

Activities & Games To Play at Graduation Party

 

Sign a Book

Ask each guest to sign a copy of Dr. Seuss’ “Oh, the Places You’ll Go,” and gift it to the proud graduate at the end of the event.  This is a classic book that almost every graduate should receive plus with all the well wishes of the guests this is something they will cherish for decades to come. 

Guess the Mascot 

For high school graduation, hang up a photo of a mascot for colleges that your grad’s friends are attending and take turns guessing which mascot belongs to which school.  Have some fun prizes too. 

First Job or College Essentials Gifts

Have your guests bring something they could not live without in college or needed to start a new job and living on your own.  From a fun deck of cards to a framed picture. these will mean more to the graduate than a random gift. 

Make a Slide Show

Ask the guests to send in a picture of them with the graduate and create a fun video to music.  Then project it on a big screen at your party.

Guess The Baby Grad

If you are hosting several of the grads classmates this is a fun activity to have going on. Before the party, ask the other graduating guests to send baby pictures of themselves. Copy their yearbook pics as well. Hang the graduating pics on a wall and scatter the baby pics around the room. Challenge party guests to find the baby photos.  They can use an answer key and the person who guesses the most wins. 

Photo Booth

In this day of digital photography, a photo booth is a must.  You don’t have to have much, just some fun dress up items you can find at the dollar store.  You can have a tripod and camera set up or everyone can just use their own phones and take selfies.
